Ok here's an honest question, I am not trying to troll like a lot of this thread seems to be (haven't read through it all because it's painful), but I would like some insight from some of you who are religious.
I'll start off by saying that I am not really a religious person at all. I would consider myself agnostic. My step-son and step daughter both attend a catholic elementary because their father is Catholic,. We (my fiance and I) think it's a good school, but lately with the new Principal, it seems quite preachy and over the top. We recently received a field trip letter where we have to give permission for our daughter to attend a play where they are traveling on a bus. One section says "risks associated" and the teacher wrote in "risks associated with traveling on a bus (but don't worry, God is in control). For those of you that are religious and did grow up in Catholic schools, is this not a little over-the-top? Honest question. There are many other instances where I've thought this, but this is the latest example. What do you guys think?
